increased but that total sales actually fell because of shoppers who hit the stores on thanksgiving day. we'll leadership more today as the national retail federation issues the results of its black friday shopping survey. and now that you're done with the black friday shopping and you've probably had your last plate of leftovers, maybe it's time to go home. about 2.4 million people will be packing airports today on one of the biggest travel days of the year and here to help navigate us through it is nick valencia. >> the airports, they're busy. 2.4 million people. it's a busy hold season and even more people are traveling this year. believe it or not, i was surprised by that, rehab di. aaa says more are traveling even though ticket prices are higher.

is just the latest cabinet official to issue a cabinet's point of view. what do you feel is behind all of this controversy? >> i think in political science we have a term called sore loserdom. the republican party, they're still unhappy about losing the election of 2012, many are still unhappy with president obama's presidency and that's where you're seeing the temper t tantrum. the anger and the vitriol against her seems incon grew is with what she actually did in an article about rice's potential to succeed clinton, he wrote while news came hour behalf she touched down in the region, the sequence of events is the vivid reminder of the statute clinton has gained in the job.

she's been obama's go-to gal in any crisis. she's been given international praise for much of her work over the last four years but with her departure looming how much will they have replacing her and what will that transition look like? >> i think it will be a difficult transition. you have so many dirchltd things going on. i don't think it's possible to fill hillary clinton's shoes. i don't think there's anyone in the current administration who can match her. i think what barack obama is doing is trying to find somebody who matches his philosophy and that right now is susan rise. >> and there's no chance that hillary clinton will stay on, right? she need as break. >> she need as break. there's something that might be

looming four years down the road but we certainly know right now she's planning on leaving the white house. >> let me ask you about illinois congressman jesse jackson announcing his early retirement. there's been a whole lot of talk about republican soul searching. is this a chance for the party to pick up a seat in the minority district? >> i definitely think so. look, whenever you have a congressman leave because of a scandal, you saw it in new york. i think the democratic party has really taken a hit. there are a lot of people who were unhappy with jesse jackson's tenure even before his truss. >> jaz about johnson, night to see you this morning. you too. >> how old is the big blue planet we're all living on?

welcome back to "cnn sunday morning." take a look at this. if you're traveling today, well, that's a nice calming picture of hartsfield-jackson airport in atlanta. the sun's just coming up. but 2.4 million people expectinged to be flying around out there today. one of the busiest travel days of the year and according to aaa.

happy travels today, everybody. a controversial statement by a rising star in the republican party grabbed headlines this week. florida senator marco rubio who is a practicing catholic tried to walk the line between science and faith-based creationism. here's what he told gq. at the end of the day i think there are multiple theories and this i think this is what people should teach them all. i'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that. this weekend i asked famed television scientist bill nye how old he thinks the earth is? >> 4 1/2, 4.5, 4 billion years old. so there are certain elements that were created in exploding

stars, especially the big bang, and we rely on those elements for our everyday life in order to have the quality of life we have. but the idea is certain elements change from one element to another. the verb is they transmute and the classic is our good friend australian thee yum becomes row bit yum. and you can look at this ratio. the half lisle is 48.8 billion years. this is measured in laboratories. sometimes they will observe it for 15 years to get it exactly right. then you work backward to the age of the rocks. let me say about mr. rubio's comment, you stop there about opposing theories but he went on to claim that there's no connection between our scientific understanding of the age of the earth and the

economy. >> let me direct you there. let me disript you there and read you that quote because this was another part of his answer to gk saying that's a dispute among theologans and it has to do with with the economic comment or the united states. i think the age of the universe has zero to do with hour our economy is going to grow. what do you make of this. >> the reason we have smartphones and televisions is we're able to talk on opposite sides of the content. the classic thing for me is smoke detectors. we understand the nuclear reactions. without that deep understanding we wouldn't have everything that you can touch and see in our viern. so this claim that has nothing

to do with the economy is just wrong. i'm not going after anybody's religion. that's not it. just the earth is not six or 10,000 years old. that's not. and furthermore, we rely on this -- on these discoveries for our everyday life, especially here in the developed world. >> bill nye's opinion there. one trucker is lucky to be alive. take a look. that truck is dangling over a highway overpass. we will tell you what happened. wow. that's true. ...but you still have to go to the gym. ♪ the one and only, cheerios
